PicoDrive For PSP – Genesis and Sega CD Emulator
Posted by x3sphere at November 18, 2007, 12:15 am
Homebrew developer Notaz today unleashed the initial release of PicoDrive for PSP, a Sega CD and Genesis (Mega Drive) emulator. The author notes that most Genesis games are running full speed in this release. Certain Sega CD games will not run well but speed can be improved by enabling frameskip.
This is yet another Megadrive / Genesis emulator for PSP, but with Sega CD / Mega CD support. Although it has been originally written having ARM CPU based devices in mind, it has now been ported to PSP too, by replacing ARM specific parts with portable C code. The base code originates from Dave’s (fdave, finalburn) PicoDrive 0.30 for Pocket PC. The Sega/Mega CD code is roughly based on Stephane Dallongeville’s Gens.
For detailed installation instructions and how to prepare your Sega CD games for use with the emulator, refer to the included readme file.

I was wondering when he'd release that. Someone had pointed me at PicoDrive when I first started work on my own SEGA emu, and the author PMd me to request I not work on it because he was. I hadn't really planned to, so that was easy enough to agree to. :)
This will make a lot of folks happy. :biggrin:
